Voluntary     Chant de Paix (Song of Peace)   Jean Langlais (1907-1991)

Jean Langlais became blind due to glaucoma when he was two years old and was sent to the National Institute for Blind Children in Paris, where he began to study the organ. From there he progressed to the Paris Conservatoire, obtaining prizes in organ and studied composition, and improvisation. After graduating, Langlais returned to the National Institute for Blind Children to teach, and also taught at the Schola Cantorum in Paris from 1961 to 1976. Many of his students went on to become important musicians, including organists and composers.

It was as an organist that Langlais made his name, following in the footsteps of César Franck and Charles Tournemire as organist at the Basilica of Sainte-Clotilde in Paris in 1945, a post in which he remained until 1988. He was much in demand as a concert organist, and widely toured across Europe and the United States.
